Kate Pepper Artist Statement:

"Chinese watercolor has always been a passion of mine; starting 15 years ago with Anita Wong as an instructor. Something about the structure, method and amount of detail really resonated with me. The opportunity to learn silk painting a few years ago became available and I was excited to try something new. However, the more I experimented with the silk painting techniques the more I realized the fundamentals from Chinese watercolor could be applied to silk painting. It was wonderful to get back into the studio and loose myself in creating art. The time that was taken to create the works for KMUW was a needed vacation from the demands of my busy art director life. I am very grateful my family allowed me the time to work in the studio and create several pieces I can be proud of."
